It Is Well with My Soul

 

It Is Well with My Soul

I love this song. It is a good reminder that when things go wrong or when I look back at my sins, that Jesus’ death on the cross overcame all that I must endure here on earth. It is a wonderful feeling to know that God is always in control, and He has forgiven me of my sins. Someday all our clouds will be rolled back as a scroll, the trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend. When we ponder all of this it is easy to say, “It is well with my soul!”

Lyrics by Horatio G. Spafford, arranged by Philip P. Bliss

"When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, it is well with my soul.

Though satan should buffet, tho’ trials should come, let this blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, and hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought – my sin-not in part, but the whole, is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

And, Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, the clouds be rolled back as a scroll, the trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend, “Even so” it is well with my soul.

It is well… with my soul, … it is well, it is well with my soul."
